Jake Peters review

Jake has been representing Me since 2011, He is intelligent, knowledgeable, and really gets what His clients need of Him. He can talk to a Person on His level, not all Lawyer talk and He takes the worry out of dealing with The other sides Lawyers. I would recommend Him highly to anyone needing help ...with a work comp. claim.

Very Happy with the outcome of my 2 Work Comp cases~~~ Thank You Jacob Peters!

Jake handled 2 work comp cases for me over the past 4 years, and both had positive outcomes. He was recommended to me by several coworkers and I have not been disappointed with anything that he has done. He is very knowledgeable and handled my cases with honesty and integrity. He took time to answer ...my questions and address my concerns and always conversed with me about the law in terms that I could understand. He stood strong and fought hard for me without being disrespectful or rude to the other parties involved. I am very satisfied with the outcome of both my cases and am proud to say Jacob Peters represented me.

Work Comp Case

I highly recommend Jake Peters to handle your legal matters. Jake was recommend to me from several co-workers and all of them were very pleased with him. Jake was honest and never gave me any false hope or unrealistic expectations. He always immediately responded to my questions or concerns and calle...d me if I had not responded to his emails. He is extremely knowledgable and professional. I too, was very pleased with the result of my case.

Jake Peters was fearless when taking on a large retail company!

I can't say enough good about the services I received from Peter's law firm. Jake Peters was my attorney. He fought long and hard for me against a very large company. He was always there for me when I had questions or just felt like giving up. His knowledge of how to fight this corporation and get... the best outcome he could for me was unbelievable to say the least. His office staff were always courteous and knew me on a first name basis by the time the suit was over. I feel the long fight was worth it in the end and would highly recommend the firm for any and all legal matters.

Slauter vs. Eaton Corp.

My overall experience as having Jake represent me was great. He was very professional yet on a level that made me feel comfortable. His knowledge regarding workman's compensation was extensive. The case took a bit longer than I had expected to be resolved, however I was pleased with the outcome.
